How to get rid of severe shoulder pain?

Answered by

Question: severe shoulder painI'm a 23 year old female that plays full pads, full contact womens football and has a job where I constantly lift weights of 10+ pounds over my head. About 4 Weeks ago my shoulder started popping and feeling as though it was moving in and out of place. Its painful to lift my arm above my head and down in the "pulling a wagon motion". My right collar bone feels raised up and outwards, my shoulder feels like ots stuck pushed forward, the bone above my shouldee feels more raised up and prominent, my shoulder blade feels like its moved down and there's a large lump across the top of it and there is severe pain under my shoulder blade, in my shoulder especially between the collarbone end and shoulder as well as down my arm. If I leave my arm at my side my hand turns a greyish purple gets really cold and starts to tingle. I went to the urgent care facility Here in town and they without looking at it and examining it told me to put it in a sling and take 800mv of ibuprofen (been taking 1600Mg to just make it through work) and that was pretty much it. Any type of movement now makes my shoulder have tjat feeling of popping and you can hear it.

Hello and thanks for posting the queryI have read your query with diligence. According to the history you have explained in your query, it is sure that there is something not going to cured with Ibuprofen, the cause of the pain needs to be investigated. In my opinion there might be dislocation of Acromioclavicular (AC) joint of shoulder. The symptoms like prominent bone at top of the shoulder joint, pain in movement above shoulder level, sometime numbness or tingling of arm etc. are present in it. There are also chances of some nerve injury because you have discoloration, cold and tingling of hand or arm. This is a matter of concern and to be treated as soon as possible.

Consult your orthopaedic specialist as soon as possible and get your X-ray shoulder done. If needed and advised by your doctor CT scan or MRI scan is helpful in getting to a diagnosis and rule out any abnormality in your joint.

Write back if you have any further query.Best Wishes and get well soon.Dr. Kulbir Singh

I was diagnosed with having a small stroke. MRI confirmed a CT scan results from an ER visit July 2013. I am a 47 female, was diagnosed with Lupus sle as well as rheumatoid arthritis last march I do take methotrexate injections once a week, plaquenil, folic acid, iron, magnesium, and baby aspirin. I do not see my neurologist until mid May, and I know I have enough on my unhealthy plate so to speak as it is ...I have had these symptoms since last Jan 2012 they have come and gone over periods of time. My Dr will def remember us discussing this because Ive asked him to clarify what to look for in regards stroke symptoms. Is it the entire one side of body ? or a part of one side whether it s a limb, limbs weakness? , or side of face, weakness pins needles numbness ? Because I ve felt this for quite sometime but I have to say it s constant now. I feel pins, needles and numbness around left eye, hairline toy cheekbone for days at a time and now the past few weeks it s been constant! What symptoms that are newest to me are this hear sensation that radiates across my scalp. Just keeps going back and forth. .and when it s all over after about two days literally it has left me with a migraine. Lastly, I ve never experienced this hip & leg pain also on right side along with these spasms that awakens me in the middle of the night where I can t even move or stretch out my leg to get up to go to the bathroom which is why I am trying to get up in the first place. Some new symptoms and some old but def much longer time periods I feel them then last year. I can best describe the leg pain in the middle of night as excruciating stabbing deep muscle pain along with these pins, needles, & chills in my legs. My question is could something else be going on ? Because I know my lupus dr will say these aren t lupus symptoms!

I was in a car accident 1 year ago with whiplash injuries and also swooshing sounds in left ear. The neck stuff appears to be better but the noise I hear in my ear happens currently when I change positions or move my head or jaw one way. The ENT did ct and MRI and mra and found nothing wrong. I did find out I have a floppy eardrum. Why do I have this pulsatile tinnitus? Could it be coming from my neck still? I read about diet soda? Can the caffeine or aspartame cause this?
